It'll be cold so can you find a restaurant with a large fireplace that you can get married in front of? And then have the reception there as well. Restos tend to be a little cheaper because they aren't in the wedding biz and they have all tools, utinsils, everything etc. already there.
Welcome!
Check out Mrs. Bunny's posts. She got married in a barn in the Columbus area.
I just got married in Gahanna, Ohio at the creekside. There is a beautiful rotary stage that is outside, or the inside of the Conference Center is very beautiful. They were so helpful. The Conference Center is probably about 2 years old, maybe not even. It's very modern. If you have any questions, let me know. I did my whole wedding in Columbus, for about $5,000,,,
Hey futuremrsgeoff! I'd love to help you any way I can!
You should probably start by figuring out the type of wedding you and your FI want. What kind of feel are you going for? Mr. Bunny and I picked Everal Barn in Westerville because it fit our guest list and the vibe we wanted for our wedding, rustic and fun!
Let me know if there's anything I can do -- advice, vendor recommendations, or whatever.

Ope, should probably add that I was on a very modest budget and probably spent less than $8,000 for the whole shebang. Low-budget weddings are very doable in this area!
I'm so happy to see columbus brides on a budget! I haven't started planning yet but I'm so scared of how much all this will cost!
We are on a tight budget too and only have 80 guests - so we are looking at art galleries/art centers, small family owned restaurants.... I also noticed that (in Indianapolis and Chicago) there are several really great restrored warehouses that now lease loft space for offices and sometimes these spaces can be rented month-to-month. There is a warehouse loft in Indy that rents for $800 a month - much cheaper then most venues will rent for one day!
Here are a couple places that we looked at that were on the cheaper end of things (around $5000 or less including food and place rental). Sadly, they didn't work for what we needed. These are for receptions but I'm sure they can do a ceremony as well if that is needed.

Oh and if you want to leave Central Ohio, there are some amazing places in the Hocking Hills that do weddings. If we didn't have such a large guest count (130), I would have loved this.
Hello,
I am also trying to plan a wedding in the central ohio area on a very tight budget of $10,000. I am expecting b/w 100-125 guests. I am just starting my venue search but haven't really been able to find anything that fits my budget. I love the Valley Dale Grand Ballroom but the minimum bar price is way over my budget.
Since I am getting married in August 2011, I could have the ceremony/reception inside or outside.
Does anyone know of a venue that will allow you to bring in your own alcohol?
I am thinking about purchasing our flowers (ivory/cream roses) in bulk from Sam's Club or Cosco. If anyone knows of a cheaper place, please let me know.
If I come across some really good deals, I will make sure to share with everyone here on weddingbee.
I would love to hear from readers who were able to do their entire wedding on a $10,000 or less budget.
Wild Goose Creative near OSU has a gallery-type space that would probably hold just over 100 comfortablly - and it's SUPER cheap to rent $75 for 3 hours, with additional hours $15 each. They can provide tables (free), tach support/speakers, coffee/tea and have a small kitchenette area for caterer use. The side walls are exposed brick and there is a small stage in front - very cool! We are having a cocktail reception but it was going to be too small for 150+ guests. Bring your own alcohol/food/whatever. Beth is super-nice too. http://www.wildgoosecreative.com/Wild_Goose_Creative___Rent_our_Space.html
We are using the Arlington Swim and Racquet Clubhouse. Very nice space with 2 levels. I think it's $500 for 4 hour event, 2 hour setup, 1 hour teardown. BYO-beverage and caterer.
Our reception will be well under $7000, I suspect. We are getting married in Hawaii and just having the reception. The wedding on the beach in hawaii will set us back less than $1000 with photos (not including the trip/honeymoon)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
With the economy in the wonderful state its in, I like many other brides have had to downsize my wedding and actually plan it all locally. No more destination in Hawaii :-(
With this latest development, I am in need of major assistance. HELP!!!
I'm located just NE of Columbus. I don't want the stereotypical church/country club wedding, as that does not really fit with us. I'm at a loss as to where I should even start. I'm getting married in March... Coming up so fast.
Thanks for any ideas and imput.
